Halloween is quickly approaching. If you haven’t chosen your costume yet, you’re more or less S.O.L. I’m sure Party City has plenty of costumes left. If not, you can always steal your roommate’s costume from last year, but just make sure to dry clean it from all the questionable stains left in it.
Cat
You have a wild side and you want everyone to know it. Get ready for a night of adjusting your ears, drawing your whiskers back on in the bathroom of a frat, and re-adjusting the cat suit. Halle Berry would be proud.
Devil
There’s probably a little bit of angel in those devil eyes, which is probably because you’re a polite young women most of the year. Halloween, however, is beginning to look like a different story for you and your horns (and the leading questions you’ll receive about said horns). I’ll get the holy water ready.
Cop
This costume isn’t for just any law-abiding citizen. You’re probably the type to talk your way out of a speeding ticket when you’re zipping down 57 on your way home to Elmhurst for the weekend. Let’s just hope that confidence doesn’t transfer when drunk you starts fighting with campus police about your inevitable drinking ticket.
Pumpkin
This costume is truly for the girls who don’t give a flying witch’s broom about Halloween. For them, it’s just another night to binge drink Burnett’s and go home with your significant other (Papa John’s garlic knots). If you really want to make a splash, you can always try the “Slutty Pumpkin” a la How I Met Your Mother. I’ve been trying to tackle this costume for years but I could never figure out how to strategically cut the holes.
French Maid
For some reason, it was universally decided (by yandy.com) that only maids from France are promiscuous. However confusing this stereotype might be, if you haven’t perfected your French accent up until this point, I’m afraid you’ve already taken an L on this one. Be ready to get asked to stay and help clean up the frat house full of solo cups and spilt beer. You know you’ll probably be the last to leave anyway.
The “Punny" Costume
This costume is for the girl who’s really funny in person and loves having a conversation starter ready because she’s sick of being asked which house she’s in. You’re probably an avid Pinterest user who has been scouring the website for weeks looking for this idea. Fear not, I’m sure everyone will appreciate your ambitious DIY skills and be equally jealous they didn’t think of this costume themselves.
